It depends how you interpret "all the time". What you (Junio) are 
suggesting is that the count of initial clones is relatively small as 
compared to the total number of fetches.

However, you can interpret "all the time" in terms of "time". Most fetches 
are really small. They even often end up in no objects pulled at all. 
These are cheap for the server. The initial clones take a long time. They 
are expensive.

I'd be interested to learn how much of the CPU time is actually spent in 
initial clones, rather than other types of fetches. It might make sense 
yet to optimize initial clones.

Ciao,
